"Shentu Yan is now our great enemy, and anyone who is his enemy is potentially our friend. There is no benefit to us if they are exterminated," Liu Feiyue said from behind Ling Chen, her voice calm and collected.
"Although the Sky Void Palace beca a sworn enemy after the uproar you caused last ti, if we can intervene to rescue them now, we can undoubtedly dissolve the hatred and beco their lifesaver."
"Senior Sister Feiyue, you are right."
Ling Chen nodded. "Even if the Sky Void Palace is exterminated this ti, they will not be completely wiped out. As an ancient faction that has stood for hundreds of years, as long as there is a spark of life, they will have a chance to rise again."
Of course, Liu Feiyue understood that Ling Chen's primary motive was still simply to save Xu Ruoyan.
"Since we've made a decision, let's set out imdiately!"
Liu Feiyue nodded. The journey from Black Devil Island to the Sky Void Palace was long. By the ti they arrived, it might indeed be too late.
"I'll go on this mission. Senior Sister, how about you stay and guard Black Devil Island?" Ling Chen suggested, looking at Liu Feiyue.
"No, I'm going too. Besides, I'm very interested in this woman nad Xu Ruoyan. I'm quite curious to see what the woman who has captivated you so completely actually looks like." A stunningly beautiful smile appeared on Liu Feiyue's face, her eyes sparkling with keen interest.
"I heard Xu Ruoyan misunderstands you. I'm afraid even if we go, she might not treat you well."
Ling Chen chuckled and shook his head. "It doesn't matter. I don't expect her to rember anything. I just want to act with a clear conscience."
"Hearing you say that, I'm actually a little envious of Miss Xu Ruoyan now," Liu Feiyue sighed.
This so-called devotion—never abandoning, staying together through life and death—that probably described people like Ling Chen.
Especially when one considered that Xu Ruoyan had stabbed Ling Chen with a sword back in the Sky Void Palace.
When you risk your life for soone, only for them to hurt you in return, the damage isn't just physical; it's a deep emotional wound.
However, true love isn't so fragile.
To love soone ans to forgive their mistakes, to try and see things from their perspective.
Even if the other person, for whatever reasons, turns a blind eye, choosing to forgive them anyway ans one is true to that love.
How many people in this world could truly reach such a level?
Soon, with a loud RUMBLE, a huge dark silhouette broke through the clouds and docked beside the mountain peak. It was a Puppet Warship.
"Let's go." Ling Chen and Liu Feiyue boarded the warship one after the other.
...
The sky was blue, the earth verdant. Magnificent mountains lay like giant dragons, stretching as far as the eye could see. The entire landscape exuded a grand aura, resembling a Fairyland.
AH!
However, war now raged across hundreds of miles. Even such a tranquil place of cultivation could not escape. The serenity did not last long before a sudden, bloodcurdling scream tore through the sky.
Looking in the direction of the scream, one could see plus of black smoke billowing in the distance. The air was thick with the sll of gunpowder, and the flas of war engulfed the land.
Beneath the billowing smoke stood nurous towering peaks. Atop these peaks were various grand halls, most of which had already been destroyed by the ravages of war.
Dark clouds gathered in mid-air, and the wind howled violently. Behind these dark clouds, countless figures stood atop Exotic Beasts. They all wore identical attire, bearing the emblem of the Divine Intent Sect on their chests.
Each of these figures exuded a powerful aura, yet their eyes were vacant, like those of zombies.
Among them, a dense crowd of experts had reached the Sky Apex Realm. Numbering over a hundred, they undoubtedly ford an incredibly terrifying force.
Deep within these mountains, an azure light shield enveloped the last sanctuary of the Sky Void Palace, steadfastly protecting it.
This was the Sect-protecting Array established by a predecessor Sect Leader of the Sky Void Palace—their final line of defense.
Outside the massive light shield, figures in attire different from that of the Divine Intent Sect could be seen. They seed to be resisting the advance of the Divine Intent Sect army. Amidst bursts of vast True Qi, they were intermittently engulfed by terrifying attacks roaring out from the black clouds, followed by a succession of wretched screams.
Although they fought with all their might, their defenses were clearly crumbling under the overwhelming assault.
Flashes of blades swept through the air, and blood sprayed forth. The scene was utterly brutal.
"Fellow disciples, we swear to protect the Sky Void Palace to our dying breath!" a figure with bloodshot eyes roared at the sky, his voice filled with Despair and intense hatred.
In just the past few days, many of their Disciples had fallen to the Divine Intent Sect army. Among them were relatives, friends, and sect Elders—all consud by the ravages of war.
The Divine Intent Sect's attack ca without warning. No one had anticipated that they would suddenly strike the Sky Void Palace. Even more unbelievable was the formidable combat strength displayed by the Divine Intent Sect, which had supposedly been in decline for a long ti.
"KILL!" The Sky Void Palace Disciples roared, launching a ferocious counterattack.
Their assault, however, only incited greater ferocity in the Divine Intent Sect disciples. A black glint flickered in their eyes as their attacks grew even more savage. The Sky Void Palace Disciples were instantly cut down, their blood seeming to dye the very earth red.
Behind the dense black clouds, several figures gazed indifferently at the Sky Void Palace, sheltered by its Sect-protecting Array—its final safeguard. Once this array was breached, the Sky Void Palace would be utterly exposed to the Divine Intent Sect's killing blades.
"Sect Leader, the array formation is being maintained with all their might by two Great Elders of the Sky Void Palace. It will likely be difficult to breach quickly."
Floating at the edge of the dark clouds, one of several figures reported to the middle-aged man in black robes beside him.
The one reporting was a strikingly handso young man who, despite his youth, had already reached the Sky Apex Realm.
If Ling Chen were here, he would undoubtedly recognize this person.
This handso young man was none other than Yun Tianhe, a genius from the Divine Intent Sect who harbored a deep-seated grudge against Ling Chen.
Yun Tianhe now spoke with an unsettlingly odd inflection, as if he had switched to practicing so bizarre Cultivation Technique.
His strength, however, had increased dramatically, even allowing him to break through to the Sky Apex Realm. It was clear he had not used conventional thods to advance his Realm.
"In yesterday's battle, I severely injured those two. They are rely struggling to sustain the array now; it's nothing more than a desperate, final effort. It won't last long."
The man in black robes, who was indeed the Divine Intent Sect Master, Shentu Yan, gazed at the array formation and gave a cold smile, a chilling light flickering in his eyes.
